Music with quality
 
Tesla... What a band... I like their stuff. I like their fast songs, I like most of their ballads and there are some songs that I don't care about that much. 
Jeff Keith, vocals. I love that little bit of grain in his voice that makes that the songs have more personality, almost as if the songs are performed just for you.
The two guitars, Frank Hannon and Tommy Skeoch sound at times like they have become one big guitar creating two melodies at the same time. I have not had this sensation with any other group and that makes this band for me so special. The rhythm section contains bass player Brian Wheat and drummer Troy Luccketta and these two are able as well to become like one giant rhythm machine but they also, and I greatly appreciate this because not all   combinations of bass and drums are capable of this, are able to leave space for each other in order to place their music or even use the silences as an extra force. 
I have created a playlist of Tesla songs of which I think that they represent the groups best work. I hope you will enjoy them too.

Tragically underrated band here in France ! I ctotally agree with your analysis, and would maybe point that very special ability of theirs, to break rythms and to insert some kind of "songs in the songs" - which is usually to find in prog-rock stuffs - without hurting the global harmony of the song...(sorry for I cannot help suggesting this one : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl4fDlDatIg)
